Whats This UK and Australia has same camps?
Well blow me down I thought Australia was the only country with this way of treating new refugees , how wrong can you get.
Same story here about the Aussie Butlins holiday camps.
Asylum seekers at an immigration removal centre in Hampshire are in the third day of a hunger strike over conditions at the site.
Four men at Haslar Immigration Removal Centre, near Gosport, refused some meals on Monday, while a fifth man joined them on Tuesday, the Home Office said.
It is the second hunger strike at the site in less than a month and is expected to last for five days.

Conditions inside a detention centre for asylum seekers in Hampshire have been strongly criticised.
Haslar Immigration Detention Centre in Gosport has been described as the "worst of all detention centres" by the Haslar Visitors Group.
Their report claims inmates live in "dreadful, bleak dormitories with little dignity".
Nearly five weeks ago, 42-year-old Ukranian Mikhail Bodnarchuk hanged himself at Haslar on the day he was due to be deported.

Anyone who knows Kiev would sympathise with this unfortunate's decision to top himself rather than go back. But Ukraine, while not exactly a fully functioning modern democracy, is neither a place whence refugees should be generally accepted on persecution grounds (individual cases notwithstanding.)

Well he obviously didn't melt away like most 'sham' refugees who are getting their doubtful claims examined. Maybe he had other problems or something. Ukraine's pretty awful but not worth topping yourself over.

The first group of Afghans to be forcibly removed from the UK have arrived back in Afghanistan.
Around 20 failed asylum seekers - all men - arrived on Tuesday morning after being flown out from Gatwick Airport.
Officials say the deportees will receive food parcels on their return and have access to training courses.

Australia has traditionally been relatively generous to recognised refugees who want to settle there, setting aside thousands of resettlement places for them every year.
It has been keen to point out that over half a million people have been given refuge under its refugee and humanitarian programmes since 1945.
